I think most people expected his loss even though some of the polls suggested he would win. The guy is a well to do Neo-Con who wasn't even from the district. I am glad he lost simply because he was touted as a Conservative when in reality he actually was about as Conservative as Bush and Lindsey Graham. This loss was not a loss to real Conservatives but a loss to the Neo-Con base who keeps trying to reinvent themselves as the Conservative leaders.

Also, i'm sick and tired of the Hannities and Palins trying to purify the meaning of Conservative in their image. I'm against this. We as WNs will be effected, too. If the Republican and Democrat parties start trying to purify their base into only Neo-Cons or Neo-Libs that also effects us. We've already seen them do that in the case of Derek Black who won an election and because the local Republican leader didn't agree with him they didn't except his win.

Both parties should just allow the people to choose their candidates and if the people choose a far-left liberal like Dierdre Scozzafava or a WNs like Derek Black then that is the peoples choice.

Hoffmans loss should've been expected. He wasn't from the district, he was bearly even know until about 2 weeks ago, the GOP candidate threw her support behind the Democrat. He also seemed fake and just a Neo-Con puppet rceiveing support from Neo-Cons like Hannity, and also it was expected that the GOP candidate would take enough of the vote away from him, which she did, taking almost 7% of the vote.
